Manga Discussion Vinland saga
- Thread starter yj
- Start date
one of the best chapters in a while. The feels is surreal. it really puts into perpective how far thorfinn came and the 3 pillars that shaped him into who he is today. it was leif who never gave up on him and who he inherited his dream from. thors was the one who implanted and installed the ideology we all know into him. askellad was the one who gifted him with a life and taught him how to survive without being dependent on anyone else. The 3 father figures of thorfinn. it’s a shame his last self didn’t realise the lessons thors and Askeladd were preaching before it was too late. never the less by maturing for the better he’s finally realised he won’t make the same mistake with leif and will learn everything possible from him. Tell me why thorfinn is the greatest mc ever.
Ohh yeah fuck bug eyes that little shit. Hope he catches the bubonic plague coupled with the flue. This man saved you from a miserable life of slavery, gave you a home, even made you his son. And you toss all that for gambling and pussy? ngl it had me tight. he doesn’t even have the decency to at least see leif. The poor man is dying. fuck bug eyes.

The fact that this thread has only two pages is an absolute crime. I've just recently finished watching S1 of the anime, and this show is absolutely amazing. When Canute finally matured, that's when the whole thing just took off and never looked back. Askeladd is one of the best-written characters I know. Thorkell is loveable and hilarious. Canute has quickly grown on me with his development as a king and last but not least, Thorfinn who has gone through some extreme turmoil, and I'm stoked to see his development as the protagonist in the future seasons. I will remain anime-only for this series as the anime is too beautiful to move on from to the manga for me. Anyway, a spectacular S1 and I greatly look forward to S2.
Anyone else feel like the series lost its way a little in the Eastern Expedition arc?
The War and Slave/Farmland arcs were masterpieces, but I felt like the last arc was basically just 70 chapters of character shenanigans with a few cool moments. And the fact that we didn't visit Greece makes it feel kinda skippable.

I know what you mean and it’s probably the weakest arc but still great. This whole arc was a payback for a the sins Thorfinn committed.
I really like how the whole story is structured
Thorfinn did evil things/sins and lost his way -> Thorfinn lost himself and finds his own way -> Thorfinns past is chasing him and he needs to pay for his past/ he concludes the old story arc ->
Vinland and his last trail, can he become a true warrior and will he fulfil his promise?
SEASON 2

I honestly expected this thread to be much bigger considering how great this series is. It's also one of the few Seinen that actually has a reasonably decent anime adaptation that (for the most part) does justice to the original source material. They did fuck up the iconic Thorkell scene but overall it was good. Below are some of my favourite scenes from S1.
